Introduction to the Create Event in Google Calendar API Template
Welcome to the step-by-step guide on how to use the Create Event in Google Calendar API template on Lazy. This template is designed to help you build an application that can interact with the Google Calendar API to create events. It's perfect for those who want to integrate calendar functionality into their software without delving into the complexities of API integration.
Getting Started
To begin using this template, simply click on "Start with this Template" in the Lazy builder interface. This will pre-populate the code in the Lazy Builder, so you won't need to copy or paste any code manually.
Initial Setup: Adding Environment Secrets
Before you can test and use the application, you need to set up the following environment secrets within the Lazy Builder:
- CLIENT_ID: The client ID provided by Google when you register your application.
- CLIENT_SECRET: The client secret provided by Google after registering your application.
- REDIRECT_URI: The redirect URI set in your Google project that Google will use to send the authorization code.
To obtain these values, follow these steps:
- Go to the Google Developers Console.
- Create a new project or select an existing one.
- Go to "Credentials" and create credentials for an OAuth 2.0 client ID.
- Set the application type to "Web application" and add the redirect URI that matches the one you will use in the Lazy application.
- Once created, you will be provided with a client ID and client secret.
Enter these values into the Environment Secrets tab within the Lazy Builder.
Test: Pressing the Test Button
After setting up the environment secrets, press the "Test" button. This will deploy the app and launch the Lazy CLI. If the application requires any user input, you will be prompted to provide it through the Lazy CLI.
Using the App
Once the app is deployed, you will be provided with a dedicated server link to use the API. Additionally, since this template uses FastAPI, you will also receive a link to the API documentation. This documentation will guide you on how to interact with the API endpoints, such as creating an event or authenticating with Google.
Integrating the App
After successfully deploying the app and testing its functionality, you may want to integrate it with other software or services. Here are the steps you might follow:
- Use the server link provided by Lazy to make API requests from your frontend or other services.
- Ensure that you handle the OAuth2 flow correctly by redirecting users to the provided authentication URI and handling the callback with the authorization code.
- Once authenticated, use the `/create_event` endpoint to create events in the user's Google Calendar.
Remember, the template handles the backend logic, so you can focus on integrating the API into your service or frontend as needed.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully set up and integrate the Create Event in Google Calendar API template into your application using Lazy. Happy building!
